Nicely, That Was Sudden.
If you happen to described this meal to me, I’d increase my eyebrows at you. Hen on a sheet pan, with a couple of primary sauce parts poured proper excessive? Like, actually?
However each time I’ve made this apricot rooster, each Bjork and I and our pals have actually stated outloud – Wow. Why is that this so good? It’s humble, it’s low-key, however it has completely unimaginable taste.
Sesame oil, soy sauce, with a little bit of sweetness (our buddy apricot jam! 😍) are a superb taste base – however the factor that deserves a lot of the taste credit score right here is that tangle of charred scallions. They offer a pleasant oniony taste, but additionally a roasty depth feels such as you spent a couple of hours on this as a substitute of simply quarter-hour.
The rooster stays tender and juicy because of a brief bake time, the scallions are enjoyable and fairly, and in the event you can scrape up any browned bits or juices from the pan to spoon over your rice bowl, you’re in for a deal with. It’s so good.
